Buddhist Philosophy and Transpersonal Psychology Transpersonal Psychology 'The central concept in Transpersonal Psychology is self-transcendence, or a sense of identity which is deeper, broader, and more unified with the whole. The root of the term, transpersonal or literally "beyond the mask," refers to this self-transcendence' John DavisHistory Transpersonal Psychology grew out of the rejection of the mechanistic or behaviorist model of the mind which was the orthodoxy of the mid-twentieth century academic establishment . Charles T. Tart refers to this orthodoxy when describing his college experience in the 1960's: 'As to things like mystical experiences, if they were mentioned at all, which was rare, they were relegated to the fringes of psychiatry as being undoubtedly schizophrenic in nature and just showed how sick religions were to be associated with superstitious nonsense like that. Real people in real life were still having transpersonal experiences of course, but they didn't speak of them around psychologists unless they wanted to be referred for treatment for psychopathology...' Gradually, the climate of opinion has changed. And the mind (as distinct from being an epiphenomenon of matter) has been rediscovered. A number of reasons for this development have been suggested:

This is a splendid book, ranging widely across the whole spectrum of Transpersonal Psychology. It will surely become a standard text and do much to render Transpersonal Psychology readily accessible to all those who wish to understand this profoundly important area of study. Professor David Fontana , Foundation Chair British Psychological Society, Transpersonal Psychology Section Transpersonal Psychology concerns the study of those states and processes in which people experience a deeper sense of who they are, or a greater sense of connectedness with others, with nature, or the spiritual dimension. Pioneered by respected researchers such as Jung, Maslow and Tart, it has nonetheless struggled to find recognition among mainstream scientists. Now that is starting to change. Dr. Michael Daniels teaches the subject as part of a broadly-based psychology curriculum, and this book brings together the fruits of his studies over recent years. It will be of special value to students, and its accessible style will appeal also to all who are interested in the spiritual dimension of human experience. The book includes a detailed 38-page glossary of terms and detailed indexes.

Transpersonal psychology and change management

The McKinsey Quarterly: The psychology of change management Employees will alter their mind-sets only if they see the point of the change and agree with it at least enough to give it a try. The surrounding structures (reward and recognition systems, for example) must be in tune with the new behavior. Employees must have the skills to do what it requires. Finally, they must see people they respect modeling it actively. Each of these conditions is realized independently; together they add up to a way of changing the behavior of people in organizations by changing attitudes about what can and should happen at work. This article by Emily Lawson and Colin Price highlights interpersonal (transpersonal) psychology as applied to change management in organizations. As we hear frequently in the non-technical knowledge management literature, getting people to change their approach in business is often much more painful that getting applications up and running. (Not that applications are "easy.")

It is a real pleasure to be here today, and I look forward to giving this talk with anticipation. I have already stirred up quite a bit of excitement, judging by comments I have gotten, by having the word spirit in the title, and also by asking, in my recent e-mailed questionnaire to Parapsychological Association (PA) members, about the importance of spiritual values in motivating them to become parapsychologists. I am glad to have stirred up this excitement, because I am not happy with the current state of parapsychology, and I want to stimulate some thinking about that, which I think will be helped by excitement. To give us some context, I want to provide a brief update on where popular culture in the United States is. Table 1 shows some May 2001 Gallup poll results. From it, you can see that a majority of the United States population believes in psychic healing or mind-body healing, up 8% from 11 years ago, and well over a third of the population believes in such phenomena as ESP, haunted houses, the return of spirits of the dead, telepathy, clairvoyance, and precognition.

Waves, Streams, States, and SelfA Summary of My Psychological Model (Or, Outline of An Integral Psychology) Ken Wilber (PAGE 8 OF 10) Appendix C: The Death of Psychology and the Birth of the Integral In 1983, I stopped referring to myself as a "transpersonal" psychologist or philosopher. I began instead to think of the work that I was doing as "integrative" or "integral." I therefore began writing a textbook of integral psychology called System, Self, and Structure , a two-volume work that, for various reasons, has never been published. I have just recently, however, brought out a one-volume, simplified outline of integral psychology called, appropriately enough, Integral PsychologyConsciousness, Spirit, Psychology, Therapy . The article presented above is a summary of that book, and hence a summary of my present psychological model. My hope is that integral psychology, in moving outside of transpersonal psychology and building more bridges to the conventional world, will provide a complementary approach to move consciousness studies forward, while maintaining a respectful and mutually beneficial dialogue with the four forces. I have long been a strong supporter of all four forces of psychology, and I will continue to do so. Some critics have called integral psychology a fifth force, but I don't think that is a useful way to proceed (and it can also become an unfortunate game: okay, then I have the sixth force...). Besides, I believe the four forces of psychology are slowly dying, and being the fifth force of that death march is perhaps not desirable. Psychology as we have known it, I believe, is basically dead. In its place will be more integral approaches.

Transpersonal Psychology

I have no doubt whatever that most people live, whether physically, intellectually or morally, in a very restricted circle of their potential being. They make use of a very small portion of their possible consciousness...much like a man who, out of his whole bodily organism, should get into a habit of using only his little finger...We all have reservoirs of life to draw upon, of which we do not dream.

~William James

Transpersonal Psychology is concerned with expanding the field of psychological inquiry, beyond the personal intra-psychic realm which previously was the domain of psychology. Transpersonal psychology involves a holistic, humanistic mental health model with unlimited possibilities..

Search Engine best viewed with Internet Explorer or In short, transpersonal psychology stands for the re-enchantment of psychology in combination with the highest levels of theoretical and clinical perception and skill. It advocates freedom and full self-realization for all beings. It sees the meaning and value of all things and the sacredness of the life journey. Without discounting suffering - psychological, social, political, environmental - transpersonal psychology finds delight, comfort, and a sense of Home in the primal and profound interconnection of all existence. " John Davis, Ph.D. faculty member, Transpersonal Counseling Psychology Department Dear Prospective Student: The Transpersonal Counseling Psychology Department of Naropa University has three innovative graduate training programs in counseling, art therapy and wilderness therapy . Each program offers state-of-the-art training in an engaging and supportive environment. The unique combination of transpersonal and contemplative approaches provides a larger view of human experience as well as effective methods for working deeply with all dimensions of being. Classes are both experiential and didactic in nature emphasizing personal integration of the material and development of ones own model of psychotherapy. Through meditation practice and the counseling experiential, students gain further self-understanding and the ability to be fully present with whatever arises in the moment. These capacities and the resulting wisdom and compassion are essential tools for truly being of help to others.
